I have had it with taxes. My assessed value increased by a factor of 2.5 in one shot and I haven't done anything to the property since I bought it 3 years ago and it's just wooded mountainside with no structures. The county is really pushing the Clean and Green option but it sounds too good to be true. It will lower my value by a factor of 19. I was never planning on subdividing the property and the only negative I'm seeing is in selling the property. If I couldn't find a buyer who wants to keep it in the program then I would have to pay the difference in the taxes for a maximum of 7 years in arrears plus 6% interest. To add insult to injury I get no benefits because I'm an out of state owner. I don't even use Pennsylvania roads because I enter the property from another state.
Is anyone in this program or have any suggestions on what to do? I just can't handle this much of a tax increase on unimproved property.
